Comment (by allendav):

 Replying to [comment:5 coreymckrill]:
 > Does deleting a user also erase/anonymize their comments and other
 potentially personal data? If not, I wonder if this row action should only
 be available after the erasure request has been completed...

 Mostly no. Deleting a user does dump their user meta as their user is
 deleted. It also removes their authorship from posts. Nothing else is
 cleaned up. In general, you could actually run these actions (erase
 personal data, delete user) in either order safely.
